It’s Easter Sunday. And the bunny did not disappoint. I got a basket of nice things. As did my lovely bride. I’m glad the furry little bunny can still find us.
We did not have a special breakfast. Just the usual we eat everyday. No newspaper again. I have sent more unfriendly emails to the Chronicle. I would call but all my calls are routed to the Philippines and I find they are unable to fix problems from 3000 miles away. I need to speak with the native English speakers in SF. They fix local problems. Of course, they like email and not phone calls. I hate them.
We did not have much going on today. Emily spent a couple three hours cleaning and rearranging her closet and other spaces. For the life of me, I can’t remember what I was doing while she worked. Neither can she. Like I said, weird.
Once Emily was done we went out to run errands. Nothing to exciting, we wanted to go to a nursery in Rocklin Emily had been to. It’s about a 15 mile drive there and I know once I have been there, I never need to return. So worth going.
I thought of the nursery, Green Acres, as a Nugget grocery is to all other grocers. Overpriced on everything, but lots of selection of high quality products. Just the kind of place I avoid. We did end up with some yard art, not too pricey.
We did need to do some planting when we got home. We did check out soil prices at Green Acres and no. All dirt to expensive.
So back to Auburn and we stopped at Home Depot. A nice place with a large nursery full of cheap product. Here we got all the stuff we really needed at a fair price. I was much happier to buy dirt and plants here.
A quick stop at Safeway, and we headed home.
At home we planted our plants in our Grocery Outlet pots I bought a couple months back. Cheap pots. Again, the kind I like. Did not take too long, maybe an hour and the pots look great on the front steps. We are that good.
We had Bbq dinner on our mind. Exact same dinner as last night, for the most part. Since we have working bbq’s for the first time in forever, we are using them. And maybe over using but I can’t say I care that much.
Dinner was fabulous again. Must be my bbq skills.
We spent the evening watching fine programs on the television. Well, we did watch TV. Went to bed early cuz tomorrow is work.
Monday. Dragged ourselves up by 545. That’s a mistake for Emily, she will be in the car an extra 30 minutes if she leaves after 630. Not my issue.
I spent my morning feeding and beveraging as always. I am good at it. Though I seldom hear any feedback. That’s ok. I still do it every day. No matter what.
I did a few things around the house before I left for work. Today I stopped at the Tuff Shed place. Wanted to see if Don has finished my plan. Turns out he does not work on Mondays. And the plans sit unchanged from Saturday. Tomorrow again.
Next stop Missions for a cup of coffee. Their coffee is expensive but so much better than anywhere else in town. Satisfying.
Quick drive to work in the race car. A nice sunny day with dry roads is good for the R.
I have three appointments today at 3, 4 and 5. I spent the day doing lots of work I did not do for the past two months. There is lots of catch up to do. Tasks are many and varied and not much fun. Def not very exciting either. But stuff gotta be done.
My 3 o’clock was late. Closer to 315. I met him as I left to go to the bank. What an idiot. He had been outside on the phone and figured it did not make any difference when he came in. My 4 o’clock had already cancelled so I was thinking I had lots of time. But, back in and talk to Brandon for an hour. Then I got to the bank. Which took forever cuz River City Bank is slow. And stupid. I got to pull my work from them. Move to another bank.
So back to the office. Worked more. It is perpetual joy. Speaking of, my 5 o’clock was a no show. Assholes.
Off to home. Stopped at grocer for heavy cream and half n half. I gave Emily an ice cream maker for Easter. Attached to the mixer. Looks easy. But I needed supplies. Remembered I gotta freeze the bowl so no frozen dairy dessert till tomorrow. Gonna be choc chip, Emily’s fave. Then mint chip, my fave, another day.
Tonight was salad made of leftovers for dinner. We did not plan ahead. So this is what we get. Dinner was fabulous.
Never guess what we did after dinner? Oh, you know. Bad TV. For an hour. Then bed. I look forward to that.
